Employment in Las Vegas

Las Vegas has consistently maintained the highest new job growth in United States. Of the 25 cities likely to have the country’s highest employment growth over the next five years, Las Vegas ranked sixth in a recent Forbes Magazine
study.

Since 1990, Las Vegas has also ranked number one in high-tech job growth (primarily high-tech services). The Nevada labor force has increased by nearly 350,000 people in the last decade. More than half of the new companies that recently relocated to the Las Vegas Valley were high-tech/manufacturing firms.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the construction industry continues to be a major employer in Southern Nevada as the demands for residential, resort, office and industrial space continue to soar. With some 6,000 new residents moving to the Las Vegas Valley each month, residential construction is valued at more than $2 billion annually. Likewise, the value of commercial construction exceeds $2 billion annually.
